The latest Rasmussen survey finds that 55 percent now want the U.S. to move towards nuclear energy, with just 24 percent opposed.

That's a dramatic jump from just last month, when the margin supporting the nuclear option was 44 to 35 percent.

Sixty-four percent say that developing new sources of energy must be a priority in any long term solution to the energy crisis, with a mere 26 percent saying energy conservation should play a leading role.

Even Democrats, who have traditionally backed environmentalists who oppose nuclear power, now support going nuclear - 52 to 26 percent.

Republicans back building new nuclear plants by more than a 3-to-1 margin, 63 to 18 percent.
